By the way, the number of sheets produced by the dry laver producing apparatus per unit time has reached several thousand, and therefore, the folding machine and the binding machine for post-processing such a large amount of produced laver. With respect to the above, it is desired to improve the processing capacity.

In addition to the above-mentioned dry seaweed production apparatus, folding machine, and binding machine, many machines such as a sorting machine for defective seaweed are used for producing seaweed. Does not necessarily have a working space that is fully equipped with.

In the past, however, since the folding machine and the binding machine were installed as independent devices in the work space, they were not well linked to each other, which not only did not improve work efficiency, but also required effective space in the work space. There was a problem that it was not used.

Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to improve the processing capacity by improving the linkage between the folding machine and the binding machine, to effectively use the space in the work space, and to bend the seaweed bundle with good workability. It is an object of the present invention to provide a processing apparatus and a processing method for the same.

1, N2).

The carrier 2 is moved to the side of the binding machine 3 by the conveyor 6 (arrow N3). Next, the seaweed bundle on the carrier 2 is pushed by the second pushing means 7, passes on the base plate 8 and is fed into the binding machine 3 (arrows N4, N5). The seaweed bundle bound by the binding machine 3 is sent from the binding machine 3 to the next step (arrow N6). The binding machine 3 is the same as that described in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-24311, and the description thereof is omitted.

Next, each part will be described. In FIG. 2, the folding machine 1 is configured as follows. 11
Is a horizontal mounting plate, and a large number of vertical plates 12 are mounted at a pitch on the lower surface thereof. Mounting plate 11
The nut 13 is fixed to the upper surface of the. This nut 1
A horizontal feed screw 14 is screwed onto the screw 4. Reference numeral 15 is a motor for rotating the feed screw 14. When the motor 15 is driven normally, the mounting plate 11 and the vertical plate 12 attached thereto move forward in the pitch to the left (X1 direction), and when the motor 15 rotates in the reverse direction, the pitch retreats to the right (X2 direction). The pitch advance and pitch retreat movement pitches are the same as the arrangement pitch of the vertical plate 12, and the pitch is moved in the direction orthogonal to the main surface of the vertical plate 12. A guide rail for guiding the pitch movement of the mounting plate 11 and the vertical plate 12 is omitted because the figure becomes complicated.

A conveyor 16 is arranged below the vertical plate 12. The sheet-shaped seaweed produced by the dry seaweed production apparatus is conveyed below the vertical plate 12 by this conveyor 16 as a seaweed bundle M stacked by a predetermined number (usually 10 sheets). Reference numeral 17 denotes a plate-shaped pushing-up member, which is connected to a rod 19 of a cylinder 18. When the rod 19 of the cylinder 18 projects, the push-up member 1
7 rises between the vertical plates 12 and forcibly pushes up the central portion of the seaweed bundle M on the conveyor 16 between the vertical plates 12 to fold and bend the seaweed bundle M in two (indicated by a chain line in FIG. 2). (Refer to the push-up member 17 and the seaweed bundle M shown).

The bending operation of the seaweed bundle M is performed as follows. That is, as described above, the motor 15 is normally driven to vertically move the vertical plate 12 leftward (X1 direction) while the push-up member 17 is moved up and down, and the seaweed bundle M is placed between every other vertical plate 12. Bend it. In this embodiment, there are 11 vertical plates 12 (thus, the number between the vertical plates 12 is 10), and by advancing the pitch, 5 nori bundles are placed between every other vertical plate 12 at T. M is bent. In FIG. 2, the vertical plate 12 indicated by a chain line has a total of five seaweed bundles M in the interval T after the pitch advance is completed.
Shows a folded state.

Next, the motor 15 is driven in reverse to raise and lower the push-up member 17 while retreating the vertical plate 12 to the right (X2 direction) by a pitch, and during the remaining interval T '(in the chain line in FIG. 2). In the vertical plate 12 shown, the seaweed bundle M is bent in the empty space T ') where the seaweed bundle M does not exist, which is indicated by the chain line. Therefore, when the vertical plate 12 finishes the pitch receding, a total of 10 nori seaweed bundles M are folded between T and T'between all the vertical plates 12.

In FIG. 3, pushing means 4 is arranged on the side of the folding machine 1. The pushing means 4 is constructed by horizontally arranging ten bars 42 at a pitch on a horizontal rod body 41 (see also FIG. 1). The lower surface of the rod 41 is a nut 43.
And the nut 43 has a horizontal feed screw 44
Are screwed together. When the motor 45 is driven positively, the nut 4
3 moves to the left (N1 direction) along the feed screw 44,
The bar 42 also moves in the same direction.

As shown in FIG. 1, ten bars 42 are erected at a position corresponding to T between ten vertical plates 12 of the folding machine 1. The position of the mounting plate 11 shown in FIG. 1 is the same as the position of the mounting plate 11 shown by the solid line in FIG. As described above, the mounting plate 11 shown by the solid line in FIG. 2 is located at the position when the pitch advance and the pitch retreat are completed and the seaweed bundle M is folded between all the vertical plates 12 to complete the bending work. Is. In this state, as shown in FIG. 1, the ten bars 42 are located in the space T between the ten vertical plates 12, so that the bending work is completed, and the motor 45 is normally driven to move the bars 42 to the left. If it is moved forward (N1 direction), the seaweed bundle M folded between the vertical plates 12
Are sent as they are to the carrier 2 through the base plate 5.
Then, if the motor 45 is driven in reverse, the bar 42 returns to its original position.

That is, as described with reference to FIG. 2, in this method, the seaweed bundle M is bent into T and T'between every other vertical plate 12 while the vertical plates 12 are moved forward and backward. Therefore, when the pitch retreat is completed (that is, when all of the seaweed bundle M is bent), the vertical plate 12 is pushed to the pushing position by the pushing means 4 (10 bars 42 for 10 bars T). , T ′), and therefore, when the bending work is completed, the seaweed bundle M bent by the pushing means 4 can be immediately sent to the carrier table 2. This means that the seaweed bundle M that was bent after the bending was completed
This means that there is almost no time lost until the product is sent to the next process, and the work efficiency can be improved accordingly.

In FIGS. 1 and 3, the carrier 2 is constructed by vertically arranging upright plates 22 on a substrate 21 with a pitch. The upright plates 22 are erected in the same number in parallel with the vertical plates 12, and the pitch thereof is the same as the pitch of the vertical plates 12 of the folding machine 1. Therefore, the upright plates 22 are pushed out from the space T between the vertical plates 12 by the pushing means 4. The ten nori seaweed bundles M are pushed into the upright plates 22 as they are.

The conveyor 6 has a belt 6 inside the long box 61.
2 and a pulley 63 that adjusts the belt 62. As shown in FIG. 3, the belt 62 and the bottom surface of the carrier 2 are joined by a bracket 64. Therefore, when the motor 65 (FIG. 1) is positively driven, the belt 62 rotates along the pulley 63, and the carrier 2 moves to the right (N3 direction). When the motor 65 is driven in reverse, the carrier 2 moves leftward and returns to the original position.

In FIG. 1, the carriage 2 which has received the seaweed bundle M from the folding machine 1 moves to the position indicated by the chain line by the motor 65 being driven in the forward direction. A second pushing means 7 is provided on the side thereof. This second pushing means 7 is
As shown in FIG. 3, a horizontal rod body 71, ten bars 72 vertically installed at a pitch on the rod body 71, and a nut 7
3, a feed screw 74, and a motor 75. The second pushing means 7 is different from the first pushing means 4 in that the bar 72 is vertically provided on the rod body 71, but other configurations are the same as those of the first pushing means. is there.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bar 72 is vertically provided between the upright plates 22 of the carrier 2 at a corresponding position.
Therefore, when the motor 75 is driven in the forward direction, the bar 72 moves forward in FIG. 1 (arrow N4) and pushes the seaweed bundle M on the carrier 2 onto the base plate 8 to the binding machine 3 (arrow N5). Then, the seaweed bundle M bound by the binding machine 3 is sent to the next step (arrow N6).

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, the seaweed bundle M can be bent and bound with good workability. In particular, by providing the carrier 2 for automatically transporting the seaweed bundle M between the folding machine 1 and the binding machine 3, the folding machine 1 and the binding machine 3 are linked to perform the work from bending to binding. You can do it efficiently. Further, the folding machine 1 and the binding machine 3 can be advantageously linked in a limited work space.

In addition, the vertical plate 12 of the folding machine 1 is pitched forward,
By bending the seaweed bundle M between every other vertical plate 12 while retreating the pitch, there is no loss time from the completion of the bending work until the bent seaweed bundle M is sent to the next process. Therefore, work efficiency can be improved.
